It's Inconceivable That You Wouldn't Want To Read This Lovely Book, Says Jackie

This book made me so very happy. I love the back stories and the
glimpses behind the scenes of one of the most popular movies of the past
25-30 years. Elwes is charming and he happily talks about the good, as well as the bad (not that there was that much). I learned some interesting
things—such as Mandy Patinkin bruising his ribs laughing, and what it's like to learn how to sword fight with both the right and left hands in under 4 months, and why director Rob Reiner and Cary Elwes were banned
from the set during one scene.

There's so much love in this book, it would be inconceivable to me that you wouldn't love it as much as I do! But as you wish.
